Ellie's great-grandparents are currently serving a mission in Florida. All of her prayers start out, "Heavenly Father, thank you Nana Papa Great on the mission". Even though they are far away, they didn't forget this lucky little girl on her birthday.

She didn't understand the concept of a check, but she loved her card.

We took Ellie to the bank to cash it herself.

It was a huge success. She got a sticker for her shirt and two "money coins".

We took her to Toys R Us and walked up and down every aisle. She finally decided on some mermaid and princess figurines.

She gave the cashier the money and said thank you.

Then we took them to Grandma's house and played and played and played.
